Why is Lemmygrad hated in the wider space of Lemmy? (lemm.ee)

I've been trying to find a good Marxist instance, but Lemmygrad and Hexbear are widely hated. Why is that? Are there any good leftist instances?

Valid criticisms tbh (I even could say the same as a day 0 account lol)

Moderation isn't going to "improve" because they generally are fine with everyone being goofballs, so I wouldn't expect that.

Some people have the cascade of shitposting and useless emojis coming with their crappy views, but I don't think our instance is great at propaganda or ROE, which is unfortunate. Would love to see what we could do with a little discipline.

Also the emojis on every other instance and all mobile apps look more obnoxious because they don't downscale to their intended resolution.
